Need a van but worried about your bad credit rating? If you’ve struggled with credit in the past or simply haven’t had a chance to build up a good credit score, you could be eligible for bad credit van finance, subject to status. 

Bad credit doesn’t necessarily have to put the brakes on getting a van, it may just mean you need to use a specialist lender who looks at more than just your credit score. 

At Car Finance 247, we work with a wide panel of trusted lenders, including those that may consider people with bad credit, and we’ll do our best to try to find you a deal. With tailored finance options and a quick, straightforward application, we aim to make the process as stress-free as possible.  

What is bad credit van finance?

Bad credit van finance is designed for people who have struggled to build up a good credit score but still need a van, and can’t afford the big upfront cost of buying one outright.  

Like standard van and car finance deals, the cost of the vehicle is spread into monthly payments over a set loan term, plus interest.  

Whether it be for work or your day-to-day, bad credit van finance could make getting a van easier and more accessible. However, credit is subject to status and eligibility and a low credit score could mean you pay a higher interest rate. 

Bad credit van finance options explained

If you’re looking for a van on finance with bad credit, there are a couple of finance options you could explore: 

Hire Purchase (HP) 

HP finance may be an option for those looking for bad credit van finance. You may or may not pay a deposit and then fixed monthly payments until the end of the term, plus interest. Once you’ve made the final payment, the van is yours. 

Refinancing  

Already have a van on finance? Refinancing could help you replace your current deal with a new one, with different loan terms. It might be that you can get a better interest rate now, or you want to spread the remaining balance on your current loan over a longer period to reduce your monthly payments. However, it’s important to remember that although spreading the cost over a longer term can reduce your monthly payments, it can increase the total amount of interest payable. 

If you need van finance with bad credit, consider which of these options will suit your budget in the short and long term before making a decision.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of bad credit van finance?

Getting finance with bad credit comes with clear pros and cons. It’s worth understanding both before you apply. 

Advantages:

  • Get a van without paying upfront – Van finance means you could get a van quickly, without a big upfront payment. 
  • Pay in monthly instalments – Spreading the cost might make the payment easier to manage, and you could choose your loan term to suit your budget. 
  • Chance to improve your credit – Making payments on time could help rebuild your credit score over time. 

Disadvantages:

  • Higher interest rates – Interest rates are usually higher if you’ve got poor or bad credit, so you might pay more overall than buying one outright. 
  • Missed payments can hurt your credit further – Falling behind on repayments can worsen your credit history and may lead to extra fees. 
  • The van could be repossessed – If you fail to keep up with payments, the lender has the right to take back the vehicle. 

Ultimately, it’s about weighing up whether the benefits outweigh the risks for your situation and choosing a deal that works for you.
